A Washington special to the Pioneer
Press says: or three very curious
cases of attempts to get land on very
short residence the secretary himself,
in memorandum. sayc:
The three cases, kintner VS.. Engle-
sted, Carroll VS.. Evans and Miller VS.,
Marshall, are alike in character and
part of one conspiracy. Marshall, a
conductor on the Chicago Il North
westestern railroad, organized pleas
ure party consisting of Mrs. Sarah
BOYD, his sister, Mrs. Josephine Engle-
sted III. A. White. James Wallace,
Charles Thorpe and II. T.. Evans, of
Chicago, and .. G. Evans, of Aurora.
ILL.,, all of whom went on free passes
to Mitchell, OAK. in April, 1883. Mrs.
Bovd's son John had previously gone
there to live. Each of the party made
homestead entry. at the end of six
months they again went west with free
passes on hunting excursion, They
abored under the delusion that If they
were not absent from the land for
more than six months they could hold
the land. These two visits were the
only times they ever were on the land
before institution of contest. This is
the testimony of bona tide residents.
In the cases of Mary and Maggie
Sullivan, involving the southeast ar. sec
tion /. township 1O8, range 6S, and the
northeast quarter section 4, township
l0S. range 68, Mitchell land district, the
secretary modifies the land Office deci-

Known in Mitchell.

In the Pioneer Press of SATURDAY. ap-
pears the following mention of Grand
Forks ladies who are we'll known in this
city:
Mrs. j. p. Armstrong is considered
by many, especially those admiring the
blonde style of beauty, the prettiest
lady in Grand Forks.
To doubt her fairness were to want an eye.
Her mother, Mrs. Birkholz, is thought
by some equally attractive, with the
only difference of being more mature.
Mrs. Woodworth, wife of Prof.
Woodworth, has pleasant, motherly
face and always cheerful smile.
"She spake no SANDER, no. nor listened toit." !"
Her eldest daughter, Mrs. Cooley, for
time again a member of her father s
family, is intellectual and vivacious.
Miss Woodwork, another daughter,
is very fine musician, playing with
great taste and acceptance the organ
in the Presbyterian church. She has,
too, considerable histrionic power. be-
ing exactly suited to the part of Pris-
ella.
Straight and lissom as a hazel wand,
her eyes bashful azure and her hair
IN gloss and hue the chestnut when the shell
Divides three-fold to show the fruit within.

Admission as a Whole.

Judge Hammer received one of the
Aberdeen admission-as-a-wh circu-
lars Saturday with arequest to work up
delegation from this county, and
while he is not committed to division,
he promptly returned the document
with the endorsement that as the SEN
tlment here was largely in favor of
division, he had no time nor desire to
go contrary to it. The judge believes
IN the good old democratic doctrln that
the majority rules, and he has no SYM
pathy with the present movement that
at best can only embarass the situa-
tlon at Washington.

has had peculiar luck. "His horses" say the
old turfmen, snever ran to suit him; when
he backed them. to win they finished in the
ruck; when he let them run loose they won"
So he rctires from the turf, is selling his
horses and VOWS to bet no more.
The retirement of such a man is to be re-
GREETED, as he is Of that class of men who
give dignity to the noblest Of sports. Still,
those not interested in the turf have abund-
ant other reasons to be interested in Mr..
Scott, for he began active life as pago in
the house Of representatives, followed that
by peddling fish in Erie, and now. represents
tho district in the house where he began as q
page He was, in fact, taken from the place
If page by Nj. Reed, representative of the
Erie district, and employed his useful talents
SO well that in 1850, at the age Of %, he was
able to start in the coal and shipping bust
ness on the lake. Soon after he married the
sister Of Frank D. Tracy, late president Of
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
road; by that connection he got some money
and an introduction to New York capitalists,
who recognized his ability, and thereafter
his advance was rapid. As president OF dis
rector he aids in the control of q, 900 miles of
railroad. He is one Of tho few congressman
who loves Washington well enough to stay
there much of the vacation.

couRrsHIP AND MARRIAGE.
A wedding epidemic has broken outs

A wedding epidemic has broken outs5in
Paris, KY.
A tailoring firm ut Charlottesville advcr-
tises that q marriage license will be given
every young man who will buy his wedding
suit of them.
In trial at Philadelphia the other day
the fact was brought out that two young
people, who were neighbors, had been in the
habit of doing their courting on the roof of a
house near by.
John Martin, Of Trimbclville, Chester
county, Pa, courted Miss Estclla Webb for
twenty years and then broke q marriage en-
gagement. Now she sues him for $4,000, or
$1,000 year for his courting.
James B. Bell, who is mentioned as having
been an eccentric man, died recently in Mid
dlcton, Conn. He leaves four wives and he's
gone to meet three, and at the time OF his
death he was preparing for his eighth mar
riage.
A young man at Tifin, O., courted young
lady until o'clock in the morning. When
he started to go home he found tho door
fastened with wires SO that he could not
open it. When he tried to crawl out of q
window he was arrested as burglar and
had to be identified by the girl.

located in New York, and for years the high
hopes Of making America great silk grow
ing country were abandoned.
In 1910, however, George w. Murray, Of
Northampton, Mass, bought the old building
at Paterson, N. j., in which Colt had manu-
factured revolvers, and put Mr.. Ryle in
charge Of it to establish the manufacture of
silk. That city has ever since been his home,
and there he made and lost two or three for
tunes before establishing the industry on u
permanent basis. It was largely through his
exertions that the tariff on raw silk was
abolished, and that ons manufactured silk
raised by successive steps to 60 per cent. In
1916 he bought out Mr.. Murray, and in few
years was manufacturing q fine quality of
silk. The panic of 1857 Frustrated him, but
he was soon on his feet again. On the 10th
of May, 1869, his vast establishment was de-
stroyed by fire, and as there was no insurance
the floss was about 5000, ,000 But moneyed
friends came promptly to his support, and
soon the Ryle Silk Manufacturing company
was in active operation. All these years he
was active in all public improvements. He
established the first water. supply of
Paterson and presented public park
to the people of that city. Various medals
attest his success in the several branches of
silk manufacture. He was twice married
and leaves four sons and daughter. He was
a Democrat in politics, but when he ran for
mayor of Paterson the people laid aside poll
tics and gave him the largest mai jority ever
received for that office In 1884, however,
when he ran against William Walter Phelps
for congress, party feeling asserted itself,
and Mr.. Rylewas defeated. He was an ex-
tremely valuable citizen, universally liked,
and his death is generally mou1ned in the
city he did so much to make.

Give Them a Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Verywon-
derful machinery it is. Not only Che
larger air passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading
from them. q
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs can not half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption OF any OF the
family of throat and nose and head
and lung ohstructions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee's German Syrup,
which any druggist will sell you at 70
cents a bottle. Even ifeverything else
has failed you, you may depend upon
this for certain.

ne Was Not crazy.

The board of insane commissioners,
Probate Judge Crow, District Attorney
Hannett and DR.. II. s. Sevey decided
the case of James Murdoch Monday, he
having been brought before them for
examination on complaint of his wife.
The testimony developed a domestic
disagreement, it being shown that Mrs.
Murdoch had failed to get divorce
some time since, and now took this
method of securing a separation. Judge
Edgerton appeared on behalf OF Muir
dock, who was discharged, the board
holding that the evidence was not suf-
hclent. The parties are farmers living
IN the north part of the county, and
are both past middle age.

America, and does not come north of the
Isthmus. A few of them have been i'm
ported to this country, and they seemed
to take, and the probability is that they
will become very popular. They are about
the size of pea fowl, and their plumage
varies from a glossy black to gray, and
there is occasionally one that is mottled
white and black. They, have peculiar
tuft Of feathers on top of their heads,
which they can raise and lower at will.
In Brazil these birds run at large like wild
turkeys, and it is good sport shooting
them. They are easily domesticated, and
are wonderfully fine eating. THERE'S such
q demand for them that a large number
will be broughtup from South America,

His First Mill.

The late John Ryle, the father of the silk
industry in Paterson, Nj, died, by strange
coincidence, at the place of his birth, Mac
clesfield, England. He had gone to hisnative
land on tour for health, celebrated his 10th
birthday at his native place, and statement
from him that he was improving in health
was followed in few days by a telegram an
nouncing his death. He was one Of seven
teen children, of whom but five lived to ma
turity, and was born Oct. 90, 1917. When
only years old he was put to work in silk
mill-a fact wildly Illustrating the progress
England has since made in humanity, as

Sickness Among the Indians.

The reports of the Indian agents show
that during last year 65, 356 Indians re-
quired medical treatment for sickness or
wounds. The majority of them suffered
from diseases of the eye, and diseases of
the respiratory organs came next in Or
der. Over 10, 900 were consumptive and
1000 were treated for disorders of the
digestive organs. This large showing for
dyspepsia would, no doubt, in an eastern
community, have been unjustly charged
to the account of civilization and pie. Of
enthetic diseases due to immortality there
was little to support the outcry that has
been raised against the Indians, as less
than 1000 were treated for all diseases of
this class. 1t is worthy of note, also, that
only four Indians suffered from inebria-
ton, and but one in 25O, 900 red men had
the delirium tremens.-Frank Leslie's.
